Ping Eye 2 Beryllium Copper Iron set Golf Club

The Ping Eye 2 Be/Cu clubs are the most sought after, desirable clubs on the market. Perimeter weighting, square grooves(yes all clubs now have square grooves, but with spacing of grooves now illegal to produce), but with a soft feel unique to the club head material. I am now an owner of 4 sets of these clubs. One set for my home course and one for the resort club both for me, and my 16 year old son. I would suggest a bit of advice on purchasing these clubs. First, I would not suggest you look just at height and decide to purchase an orange set if you are 5 foot 6 to 9 inches in height. Play with a set of Ping Eye 2 clubs, and decide if your divot indicates that you have a need for a more or less upright set. While I have a height that would suggest an orange set, I find the black dot set to have a divot far more symmetrical, with neither the toe nor the heel digging deeper into the turf. Condition is important, and none are standard on used clubs. A photo is the only way of determining the condition of a club. Buy the very best clubs you can in the very best condition you can afford. You can't take it with you, and you will always be glad you paid more. Expect to pay in the $400-600 range for a good set of these clubs with a sand wedge. An excellent used lob wedge will cost $250-300. Pay for the better club, you will be happier. Look at the bands on the club. A black and blue banded club is one made for the US. One made for Japan will be black with green. Either is fine. You can always call Ping to determine that this is a men's club, and that the serial number is consistent with the color of the lie. An original ping grip with diamond or double diamond grips will probably mean that you have clubs that have had relatively little use in the past. I would rather see a set of clubs with original grips in poor condition but beautiful club heads and regrip them, instead of clubs with relatively poor photos not showing details but with nice grips. Ping eye 2 clubs are not rare clubs, but there are currently no better clubs, and the Be/Cu are the best of the series. Shell out the big bucks for a great set and you will not regret it. If you are not playing well with them, go ahead and get a lesson. It is not the clubs, it is your swing. Unless wear indicates I need to replace my sets, I expect I will be playing these sets for the next three decades while I can still walk and play golf. If wear on the club face indicates I need to replace them, you can expect me on EBay bidding the replace them. If they are running $3000 for a set in 2020, I will be paying that. The price you pay for these items are going to be influenced as they have by supply and demand. Expect the demand to go up, and the supply to go down.

Wonderful club head material and has been for years in terms of "impact" feedback whether it's a cast or a forged club. As such I own several Beryllium wedges and two sets of the Eye 2's. Ping enjoyed a nice run with the sqaure grooves but even the U grooves are wonderful in the cast article. Cleveland Golf had a nice offering with their less forgiving forged Tour Action 588 Beryillim wedges as did Hogan but they are getting kinda scarce now too.
The only thing I might add to the Ping irons comments here is that their shafts were typically kinda stiff for the average player and one might be better served with a softer conversion over to True Temper's Dynamic Gold line up for maximum playablity. Playing golf with shafts that are too stiff reduces game enjoyment dramatically and remains a very common mistake even today. No sense in making this game any tougher than it already is so do your research on the color codes and be realistic as to what your collective costs will be while tailoring these sticks to your particular needs and abilities.
Oh and keep an eye on 'em too especially when playing in foreign territory as these sticks are much sought after and do ahm have a tendency to disappear.

These are the clubs that everyone raves about. The classic, and possibly perfect, cavity back Eye 2 design, coupled with the tactile feedback of the super strong and flexible Beryllium Copper heads. The forgiving contact of the perimeter weighting and the feel of the alloy material combined is amazing. That's why these clubs are always so sought after by the Pro and low handicap players.

Add to that the collectable and investment value of these BeCu irons. A set that you can watch gain value AS you play them is rare indeed! Thanks to the EPA outlawing industrial use of Beryllium in the private sector, golf club manufacturers can no longer produce golf clubs or putters from this Magic Material. I love mine, and recently bought a set for my oldest son on Ebay.

I bought a set of used Eye 2 steels for a few hundred bucks when I was in high school...over ten years ago. I played the s##t out of these clubs, and they eventually started to show the abuse (tough to do with cast clubs). Still managed to sell them for almost $200 dollars on Ebay. Put that money toward another set...this time the becu, which should be arriving in the mail here in a few days. Can't wait to get the same playability in the magic metal. Without question the best equipment investment ever made. Oh, yeah picked up the becus for $300....the plus model...but I honestly don't see the groove issue to be the huuge difference that it's played up to be. Bottom line, plus model or no.......unbelievable clubs!

These irons really bite into the ball , you wont hit them further because of the spin but you will be in play & on line
with your shots, awesome feel & feedback is given when struck.
todays technology is still chasing the EYE2 design. its like trying to catch lightning in a bottle again. Good luck with that. Ping Eye 2 rules in copper & steel (copper is SWEET).
Watch the look on your buddy's faces as you take them down
hole after hole.
